WEEDS MUST BE CUT DOWN.

Throwing Dry Grass and Weeds Into
Alleys is Forbidden.

Owners of vacant lots are receiving notices from the police department ordering that weeds on the lots be cut down. Patrolman Dennis Keenan has been detailed to locate the lots reported by the patrolmen where weeds should be cut and send out the notices.

An additional order was issued by Chief Snow yesterday to the effect that property owners were not to throw dry grass and weeds into the alleys. The order was issued because fire is too easily started by carelessness where grass has become dried. Owners should burn the weeds on their lots and obviate any chance of fire.
